‘I feel utter anger’: From Canada to Europe, a movement to boycott US goods is spreading (www.theguardian.com)

Summary

An international boycott against US goods is intensifying across Canada, Europe, and beyond in reaction to authoritarian policies and trade tariffs under Trump's second administration.

Consumer boycotts have notably hurt Tesla, exacerbated by Elon Musk’s role in Trump's administration, causing Tesla’s share price to plummet.

Cultural boycotts, including canceled tours and rejected US-made products, are widespread, reflecting anger over US policies and Trump's stance on Ukraine.

Analysts emphasize this unprecedented backlash signals declining global trust in the US, with a shift towards ethical consumerism driven by political anger and activism.

I am still very patriotic. We have to save our country from fascism. Even if we have to build from the ground up, we have to fight for our country. I'm not under the illusion that this happened overnight. Far from it, it has been a slow cascading wave of democratic failures one after another.

Still, we can't be too dejected to just say "fuck it" and flip the table in despair.

Try educating a conservative and then come back and tell me how you think we're going to move forward as a nation.

But at what point do we call it quits? Even the most loyal dog will eat its owner once starved.
